BERLIN
BLOCKCHAIN

About BERchain

There is so much going on about blockchain in Berlin, unfortunately
this is all broken up in different sub-communities with their own
platforms and meetups. We are aiming to connect the community
further through an invite-only Slack group (see below) and an extensive list
of meetups and events. We keep the quality of the Slack group on a high level by only admitting
those who work professionally with blockchain as a developer, technologist or in the business of
blockchain, and who have a relationship to Berlin. We filter for noise and spam on the group and
constantly monitor to ensure a high level of conversation. We do not tolerate hard sales, as this
group should be about knowledge exchange. Also ICO promotion or investment
speculation/advise/questions is not welcome on our platform.

Technical Talk

We encourage in-depth technical chats on blockchain and
distributed ledger technology, but are also open to those who
are not that experienced but with interest in the technology and
opportunities. We want to be inclusive to those working with,
or geniunly interested in Blockchain.

Blockchain Business

Have questions on how to do token economy, do an ICO or
otherwise start up your blockchain company, or perhaps on how to
start your in-house corporate distributed ledger project? We aim
to have the experts in the group and help each other out.

What not?

While we firmly believe that cryptocurrencies are here to stay
and there are amazing investment opportunities at the moment, we
do not aim to be a platform to discuss investments. We are
mainly focused on the technical, social and business side of
blockchain as a technology.

FAQ

How do I join? You can join by filling
out the application form. We have limited applications because
we would like to keep a high level of discussion and avoid too
much noise.

I am not based in Berlin, can I still join? We aim to unite those who are regularly in Berlin and
feel they are or want to be part of the growing blockchain
community. If you don't live in Berlin, or are there regularly
but feel you are still connected to this community somehow,
you are welcome to apply.

Who is this for? First and foremost for
anyone working in the blockchain space, as a blockchain
developer, blockchain consultant or as part of a blockchain
startup team, innovation hub, or working in a corporate
project team.

What can I expect? We are aiming to
have high quality discussions and explanations, mostly about
new ideas. But also if you are looking for some explanation on
the latest projects, want to meet someone who can help you
with certain projects or if you are looking for training we
look to help each other. The Slack channel should be a great
feedback mechanism on anything you're starting or thinking
about.

What is expected from me? We are
looking to unite the blockchain scene in Berlin, and to
support each other where possible. We hope you will become an
active member of the Slack group, and help where you can. But
most importantly we do expect you to be respectful to each
other.

How can I have an event added to the calendar? To have your (or any other) Blockchain related event in
or close to Berlin added, please send an email with the event
details, and preferably attach an .ics file with all the
details that we can quickly import. We may not post events
that are not easily accessable (e.g. due to high entrance
fee).

Why is it still a bit empty? We just
started (October 2017)! Join and help us unite the Berlin
Blockchain community!
